college.

I always wanted to go to a big university. I have wanted this since I was younger. I thought that was the only way I would ever go to college. My high expectations failed.
I am just about to complete my first semester of college, and you wanna hear something? I am okay with that. I have learned so much this semester.
I am big with lists so here it is.

1. I have learned how much I love my family, even though I am ready to get out of the house.
2. I have seen who are actually my true friends. It has been impossible to keep up with any of them who have left San Antonio, and even with those who live here.
3. I know what to look forward to.
4. I have had some amazing opportunities and times here in my home town.
5. I have met some pretty amazing people this semester, at work and at school.
6. I have learned where I stand with God,
7. there are many more.

I really have met some great people in my classes, especially my photography class.
We have become so close that I am not sure I am going to handle not seeing them. At first I was a bit surprised at how many older people where in my photography class, but not soon after I was grateful. You hear way too often that older people have stories and wisdom, but until I met them I did not believe this to be 100% true.
I loved the hour talks we would have before class, or the time in the lab.
They are amazing people,
from talking about one ladies husband dying from cancer, to one girls mom suffering from cancer, to talking to mom's about their kids, to gaining knowledge about photography from professionals, to talking about religion and even talking to veterans about war and what they went through.
I have loved getting to see their photography, it really is a way to express yourself.
I do not know what I am going to go next semester, it seemed that most of my time at school was spent in the journalism building. Its funny but all through high school I lived in the journalism room. I spend every day in their my senior year especially. I ate, I slept, I worked and I enjoyed life in that class.

IT WAS my life in high school. Year book that is.

I guess my life wasn't really different this year than last year.
I suppose that was a comfort thing.
I am taking a break from being in the journalism building this semester to focus on my core classes. However I will promise one thing, it will not last long. JOURNALISM IS MY MAJOR. :)
